We are going to have to live with this one, I think. There are very strong views on Censorship abroad. For each culture finding the correct mix is different. What is right for India may not be right for West. So imho we need to care for giving more options in content rather than restrict with a stricter view. <br>
<br>Anyway, if someone seriously wants porn there a zillion ways for him to get it, I dont think Commons has much market share in this aspect.<br><br clear="all">Warm regards,<br><br>Ashwin Baindur<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>

So I spent the afternoon doing some research on this matter [on my<br>
phone], and learnt that it isn't the network admin who has blocked the<br>
site. The so called security software, Blue Coat, in this case, tags<br>
the Commons as Media download site. So blocking sites in this<br>
category, blocks Commons, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, MetaCafe, etc.<br>
Similarily, there are some which categorise the Commons as<br>
'Pornography' ...<br>
